thank you for responding. below is the output. t/TEST does not seem to take account of the timeout parameter. still uses the default value. but i think it does not matter because my server is not overloaded at all. it is a dev machine. i also included the log file (i was wrong when i said that it was empty, i looked at a wrong file). i also checked whether httpd is running and it does after t/TEST terminates, even though i ran 'killall httpd' before the test.
